Right, thanks! :-)

I disabled Nepomuk, with the hope that it will fix this issue. I am not exactly 
sure what is Nepomuk even supposed to do, and what "semantic desktop search" 
means at all, so I hope I won't need its services. ;-) It appears it is 
configured to index only the ~/Desktop directory, which is empty (bar two 
icons), so in this sense it is quite useless for me.

Best, :-)
